I will miss my Uncle Tony. Great man, I learned a lot from him and he made growing up fun. He made the family gatherings a great, memorable time.

I will forever remember Tony for his smile, his loving tender care toward his wife Virginia, his hugs and his laughter. I am sorry that I was not able to be at the church but he along with Virginia will remain in heart. Eternal be your memory!

I never met Tony, however losing a trooper is a loss for the rest of us. Having survived WWII jumps Tony was a legend. Rest in peace after landing on a soft DZ.
